1. Description of Business
Business. Formed on May 25, 1993, Camden Property Trust, a Texas real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is engaged in the ownership, development, construction and management of multifamily apartment communities. Our multifamily apartment communities are referred to as “communities,” “multifamily communities,” “properties,” or “multifamily properties” in the following discussion. As of June 30, 2008, we owned interests in, operated or were developing 190 multifamily properties comprising 66,065 apartment homes located in 13 states and the District of Columbia. We had 2,453 apartment homes under development at 8 of our multifamily properties, including 1,605 apartment homes at 5 multifamily properties owned through joint ventures, and several sites we may develop into multifamily apartment communities. Additionally, two properties comprised of 834 apartment homes were designated as held for sale.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Principles of Consolidation. Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts, the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are the primary beneficiary, and the accounts of other subsidiaries and joint ventures over which we have control. All intercompany transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments acquired or created are evaluated based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (“FIN”) 46R,“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”(as revised), which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary. If the investment is determined not to be within the scope of FIN 46R, then the investments are evaluated for consolidation using American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 78-9,“Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures,”and Accounting Research Bulletin 51,“Consolidated Financial Statements.”If we are the general partner in a limited partnership, we also consider the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 04-5,“Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights,”to assess whether any rights held by the limited partners overcome the presumption of control by us.
Interim Financial Reporting. We have prepared these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included for complete financial statements. While we believe the disclosures presented are adequate for interim reporting, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our 2007 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair representation of our financial condition have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the full year.
Asset Impairment.Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment exists if estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets. When impairment exists the long-lived asset is adjusted to its respective fair value. We consider projected future undiscounted cash flows, trends, and other factors in our assessment of whether impairment conditions exist. While we believe our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such factors as market rents, economies, and occupancies could significantly affect these estimates. In determining fair value, management uses appraisals, management estimates, or discounted cash flow calculations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents.All cash and investments in money market accounts and other highly liquid securities with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.
Cost Capitalization.Real estate assets are carried at cost plus capitalized carrying charges. Carrying charges are primarily interest and real estate taxes which are capitalized as part of properties under development. Expenditures directly related to the development, acquisition and improvement of real estate assets, excluding internal costs relating to acquisitions of operating properties, are capitalized at cost as land, buildings and improvements. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits and other related costs directly attributable to the development of properties are also capitalized. All construction and carrying costs are capitalized and reported in the balance sheet as properties under development until the apartment homes are substantially completed. Upon substantial completion of the apartment homes, the total cost for the apartment homes and the associated land is transferred to buildings and improvements and land, respectively, and the assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation.

Table of Contents
Where possible, we stage our construction to allow leasing and occupancy during the construction period, which we believe minimizes the duration of the lease-up period following completion of construction. Our accounting policy related to properties in the development and leasing phase is all operating expenses associated with completed apartment homes are expensed.
As discussed above, carrying charges are principally interest and real estate taxes capitalized as part of properties under development and buildings and improvements. Capitalized interest was $4.3 million and $9.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $5.4 million and $10.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Capitalized real estate taxes were $1.2 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
We capitalize renovation and improvement costs we believe extend the economic lives of depreciable property. Capital expenditures subsequent to initial construction are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 20 years.
Depreciation and amortization is computed over the expected useful lives of depreciable property on a straight-line basis with lives generally as follows:
Estimated | ||||
Useful Life | ||||
Buildings and improvements | 5-35 years | |||
Furniture, fixtures, equipment and other | 3-20 years | |||
Intangible assets (in-place leases and above and below market leases) | underlying lease term |
Derivative Instruments.We utilize derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk, and we designate the financial instruments as cash flow hedges. Derivative instruments are recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For cash flow hedge relationships, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument deemed effective at offsetting the risk being hedged are reported in other comprehensive income or loss. The ineffective portion is recognized in current period earnings. Derivatives not designated or not qualifying for hedge treatment must be recorded at fair value with gains or losses recognized in earnings in the period of change. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Interest rate swap agreements are used to reduce the potential impact of changes in interest rates on variable-rate debt.
We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. This process includes specific identification of the hedging instrument and the hedged transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in hedging the exposure to the hedged transaction’s variability in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk will be assessed and measured. Both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, we assess whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or fair values of hedged items. We discontinue hedge accounting if a derivative is not determined to be highly effective as a hedge or has ceased to be a highly effective hedge.
As of June 30, 2008, we had $500 million in variable rate debt subject to cash flow hedges. See Note 7, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” for further discussion of derivative financial instruments.
Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, reflects the effective portions of cumulative changes in the fair value of derivatives in qualifying cash flow hedge relationships.
Income Recognition.Our rental and other property revenue is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Other property revenue consists primarily of utility rebillings, and administrative, application and other transactional fees charged to our residents. Our apartment homes are rented to residents on lease terms generally ranging from 6 to 15 months, with monthly payments due in advance. Interest, fee and asset management and all other sources of income are recognized as earned. Two of our properties are subject to rent control or rent stabilization. Operations of apartment properties acquired are recorded from the date of acquisition in accordance with the purchase method of accounting. In management’s opinion, due to the number of residents, the type and diversity of submarkets in which the properties operate, and the collection terms, there is no significant concentration of credit risk.

Table of Contents
Reportable Segments. Our multifamily communities are geographically diversified throughout the United States, and management evaluates operating performance on an individual property level. As each of our apartment communities has similar economic characteristics, residents, and products and services, our apartment communities have been aggregated into one reportable segment. Our multifamily communities generate rental revenue and other income through the leasing of apartment homes, which comprised 98% of our total consolidated revenues, excluding income or loss on deferred compensation plans, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, and 97% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
Use of Estimates.In the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, results of operations during the reporting periods, and related disclosures. Our more significant estimates relate to determining the allocation of the purchase price of our acquisitions, estimates supporting our impairment analysis related to the carrying values of our real estate assets, estimates of the useful lives of our assets, general liability and employee benefit programs, and estimates of expected losses of variable interest entities. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. The statement emphasizes fair value as a market-based measurement which should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement 157,” which deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities except for those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 for financial assets and financial liabilities and this adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, FSP 157-2 will have on our financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (i.e., the fair value option), which are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a firm commitment. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. Additionally, SFAS 159 allows for a one-time election for existing positions upon adoption, with the transition adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings. We adopted SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2008 and elected not to measure any of our current eligible financial assets or liabilities at fair value.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R,“Business Combinations,”which replaces SFAS 141,“Business Combinations.”SFAS 141R applies to all transactions or events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses. SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial impact of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, our adoption of SFAS 141R will have on our financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51.”SFAS 160 clarifies a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in a consolidated entity which should be reported as equity in the parent’s consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 requires a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of equity attributable to non-controlling interests and disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statements, of those amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the non-controlling interests, eliminating the past practice of reporting these amounts as an adjustment in arriving at consolidated net income. SFAS 160 requires a parent to recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires the parent to attribute to non-controlling interest their share of losses even if such treatment results in a deficit in non-controlling interests balance within the parent’s equity accounts. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and requires retroactive application of the presentation and disclosure requirements for all periods presented. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, our adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flow. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, our adoption of SFAS 161 will have on our financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities.” FSP 03-6-1 affects entities which accrue non-returnable cash dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service period. The FASB concluded unvested share-based payment awards which are entitled to cash dividends, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities any time the common shareholders receive dividends. Because the awards are considered participating securities, the issuing entity is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. FSP 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, our adoption of FSP 03-6-1 will have on our financial statements.
Reclassifications.Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentations. We reclassified one property previously included in discontinued operations to continuing operations during the three months ended June 30, 2008 as management made the decision not to sell this asset. As a result, we adjusted the current and prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect this reclassification. Additionally, we recorded a depreciation charge of approximately $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 on this asset in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144,“Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
3. Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share are computed using income from continuing operations and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect common shares issuable from the assumed conversion of common share options and awards granted and units convertible into common shares. Only those items that have a dilutive impact on our basic earnings per share are included in diluted earnings per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, 2.7 million and 3.0 million units convertible into common shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they were not dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, 2.6 million and 3.0 million units convertible into common shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they were not dilutive.

In January 2008, our Board of Trust Managers voted to increase the April 2007 repurchase plan to allow for the repurchase of up to $500 million of our common equity securities through open market purchases, block purchases, and privately negotiated transactions. We intend to use proceeds from asset sales and borrowings under our line of credit to fund share repurchases. Under this program, we repurchased 4.3 million shares for a total of $230.1 million from April 2007 through June 30, 2008. The remaining dollar value of our common equity securities authorized to be repurchased under the program was approximately $269.9 million.
4. Investments in Joint Ventures
The joint ventures described below are accounted for using the equity method. The joint ventures in which we have an interest have been funded in part with secured, third-party debt. We have guaranteed our proportionate interest on construction loans in five of our development joint ventures totaling $71.3 million. Additionally, we eliminate fee income from property management services to the extent of our ownership.
Our contributions of real estate assets to joint ventures at formation in which we receive cash are treated as partial sales provided certain criteria are met. As a result, the amounts recorded as gain on sale of assets to joint ventures represent the change in ownership of the underlying assets. Our initial recorded investment is comprised of our historical carrying value of the assets on the date of the respective transaction multiplied by our ownership percentage in the joint venture.
As of June 30, 2008, our equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method of accounting consisted of:
• | A 20% interest in related joint ventures, which own an aggregate of 12 apartment communities containing 4,034 apartment homes located in the Las Vegas, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas and Orange County, California markets. We are providing property management services to the joint ventures. At June 30, 2008, the joint ventures had total assets of $375.4 million and third-party secured debt totaling $272.6 million. |

We have a $600 million unsecured credit facility which matures in January 2010. The scheduled interest rate is based on spreads over LIBOR or the Prime Rate. The scheduled interest rate spreads are subject to change as our credit ratings change. Advances under the line of credit may be priced at the scheduled rates, or we may enter into bid rate loans with participating banks at rates below the scheduled rates. These bid rate loans have terms of six months or less and may not exceed the lesser of $300 million or the remaining amount available under the line of credit. The line of credit is subject to customary financial covenants and limitations, all of which we are in compliance.
Our line of credit provides us with the ability to issue up to $100 million in letters of credit. While our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under our line of credit, it does reduce the amount available. At June 30, 2008, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $12.4 million, and had $309.6 million available under our unsecured line of credit.
At June 30, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average interest rate on our floating rate debt, which includes our unsecured line of credit, was 3.0% and 5.5%, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2008, we repurchased and retired $27.8 million of the principal amount of our $300 million, 5.75% senior unsecured notes due 2017 from unrelated third parties for approximately $25.2 million.

7. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our variable rate debt. We have not entered into any interest rate hedge agreements for our fixed-rate debt and do not enter into derivative transactions for trading or other speculative purposes. The following table summarizes our interest rate swap agreement at June 30, 2008 (dollars in millions):
Notional balance | $ | 500 | ||
Interest rate | 5.24 | %* | ||
Maturity date | 10/4/2012 | |||
Estimated liability fair value | $ | 16.0 |
* | includes our interest rate spread of 0.5% |
We have determined our interest rate swap agreement qualifies as an effective cash flow hedge under SFAS 133, resulting in our recording the effective portion of cumulative changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement in other comprehensive income. Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged cash flow. To adjust the interest rate swap agreement to its fair value, we recorded unrealized gains in other comprehensive income of approximately $18.3 million and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. These amounts will be reclassified into interest expense in conjunction with the periodic adjustment of the floating rates on the variable rate debt above. The amounts reclassified into earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $2.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, whereas the estimated amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2008, expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months to offset the variability of cash flows of the hedged item during this period, is a charge to interest expense of approximately $8.8 million.
We measure, both at inception and on an on-going basis, the effectiveness of the qualifying cash flow hedge. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded no other expense for hedge ineffectiveness, and we do not anticipate a material effect in the future. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement is included in other liabilities.
Derivative financial instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements. We believe we minimize our credit risk on these transactions by dealing with major, creditworthy financial institutions which have an AA or better credit rating by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group. As part of our on-going control procedures, we monitor the credit ratings of counterparties and our exposure to any single entity, thus minimizing credit risk concentration. We believe the likelihood of realized losses from counterparty non-performance is remote.
8. Related Party Transactions
We earn fees for property management, construction, development and other services related to joint ventures in which we own an interest. Fees earned for these services amounted to $2.1 million and $4.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $2.4 million and $4.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. See further discussion of fees earned from joint ventures in Note 4, “Investments in Joint Ventures.”
In conjunction with our merger with Summit Properties, Inc., we acquired employee notes receivable from nine former employees of Summit totaling $3.9 million. At June 30, 2008, the notes receivable had an outstanding balance of $0.3 million. As of June 30, 2008, the employee notes receivable were 100% secured by Camden common shares.

9. Share-based Compensation
Share Awards.Share awards generally have a vesting period of five years. The compensation cost for share awards is based on the market value of the shares on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period. To determine our estimated future forfeitures, we used actual forfeiture history. At June 30, 2008, the unamortized value of previously issued unvested share awards was $28.4 million.
Valuation Assumptions.The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2008 was $5.06. We calculated the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 (no options were granted for the three months ended June 30, 2008):
Expected volatility | 20.5 | % | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 3.6 | % | ||
Expected dividend yield | 5.8 | % | ||
Expected life (in years) | 7 |
Our computation of expected volatility for 2008 is based on the historical volatility of our common shares over a time period equal to the expected term of the option and ending on the grant date. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield on our common shares is calculated using the annual dividends paid in the prior year. Our computation of expected life was determined using historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the share-based awards.
Share-based Compensation Award Activity.The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, there was approximately $2.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options, which is expected to be amortized over the next five years.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Construction Contracts.As of June 30, 2008, we were obligated for approximately $17.9 million of additional expenditures on our recently completed projects and those currently under development. We expect to fund a substantial portion of this amount with our unsecured line of credit.
Litigation.In September 2007, The Equal Rights Center filed a lawsuit against us and one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. This suit alleges various violations of the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act by us in the design, construction, control, management and/or ownership of various multifamily properties. The plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages in unspecified amounts, an award of attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief that includes modification of existing assets and prohibiting construction or sale of noncompliant units or complexes. At this stage in the proceeding, it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of the lawsuit, nor is it possible to estimate the amount of loss, if any, that would be associated with an adverse decision.
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements
18
Table of Contents
Other Contingencies.In the ordinary course of our business, we issue letters of intent indicating a willingness to negotiate for acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures and also enter into arrangements contemplating various transactions. Such letters of intent and other arrangements are non-binding, and neither party is obligated to pursue negotiations unless and until a definitive contract is entered into by the parties. Even if definitive contracts are entered into, the letters of intent relating to the purchase and sale of real property and resulting contracts generally contemplate such contracts will provide the purchaser with time to evaluate the property and conduct due diligence, during which periods the purchaser will have the ability to terminate the contracts without penalty or forfeiture of any deposit or earnest money. There can be no assurance definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any matter covered by letters of intent or we will consummate any transaction contemplated by any definitive contract. Furthermore, due diligence periods for real property are frequently extended as needed. An acquisition or sale of real property becomes probable at the time the due diligence period expires and the definitive contract has not been terminated. We are then at risk under a real property acquisition contract, but only to the extent of any earnest money deposits associated with the contract, and are obligated to sell under a real property sales contract.
We are currently in the due diligence period for certain acquisitions and dispositions and other various transactions. No assurance can be made we will be able to complete the negotiations or become satisfied with the outcome of the due diligence or otherwise complete the proposed transactions.
Lease Commitments.At June 30, 2008, we had long-term leases covering certain land, office facilities, and equipment. Rental expense totaled $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and totaled $0.8 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Minimum annual rental commitments for the remainder of 2008 are $1.3 million, and for the years ending December 31, 2009 through 2012 are $2.3 million, $2.3 million, $2.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and $5.1 million in the aggregate thereafter.
Investments in Joint Ventures.We have entered into, and may continue in the future to enter into, joint ventures (including limited liability companies) or partnerships through which we own an indirect economic interest in less than 100% of the community or communities owned directly by the joint venture or partnership. Our decision whether to hold the entire interest in an apartment community ourselves, or to have an indirect interest in the community through a joint venture or partnership, is based on a variety of factors and considerations, including: (i) our projection, in some circumstances, we will achieve higher returns on our invested capital or reduce our risk if a joint venture or partnership vehicle is used; (ii) our desire to diversify our portfolio of communities by market; (iii) our desire at times to preserve our capital resources to maintain liquidity or balance sheet strength; and (iv) the economic and tax terms required by a seller of land or of a community, who may prefer or who may require less payment if the land or community is contributed to a joint venture or partnership. Investments in joint ventures or partnerships are not limited to a specified percentage of our assets. Each joint venture or partnership agreement is individually negotiated, and our ability to operate and/or dispose of a community in our sole discretion may be limited to varying degrees depending on the terms of the joint venture or partnership agreement.
We have formed the Fund, a discretionary investment vehicle to make direct and indirect investments in multifamily real estate throughout the United States, primarily through acquisitions of operating properties and certain land parcels which we will contribute to the Fund for development. The Fund will serve until the earlier of (i) four years from the date of the final closing of the Fund or (ii) such time as 90% of the Fund’s committed capital is invested, as the exclusive vehicle through which we will acquire fully-developed multifamily properties, subject to certain exceptions. These exceptions include properties acquired in tax-deferred transactions, follow-on investments made with respect to prior investments, significant transactions which include the issuance of our securities, significant individual asset and portfolio acquisitions, significant merger and acquisition activities, acquisitions which are inadvisable or inappropriate for the Fund, transactions with our existing ventures, contributions or sales of properties to or entities in which we remain an investor and transactions approved by the Fund’s advisory board. The Fund will not restrict our development activities and will terminate after a term of eight years from the final closing, subject to two one-year extensions. We are currently targeting acquisitions for the Fund where value creation opportunities are present through one or more of the following: redevelopment activities, market cycle opportunities or improved property operations. One of our wholly-owned subsidiaries is the general partner of the Fund, and we have committed 20% of the total equity of the Fund, up to $60 million. We have received commitments from an unaffiliated investor of $150 million as of June 30, 2008. We expect the final closing of the Fund to occur during 2008. There can be no assurance as to the timing of such closing, the size or investment performance of the fund.
19
Table of Contents
In April 2008, we formed a co-investment limited partnership (the “Co-Investment Vehicle”) to invest for its own account or alongside the Fund in one or more investments of the Fund. The terms of the Co-Investment Vehicle are substantially similar to those described above with respect to the Fund. We have received commitments to the Co-Investment Vehicle from an unaffiliated investor of $150 million.
Employment Agreements.At June 30, 2008, we had employment agreements with five of our senior officers, the terms of which expire at various times through August 20, 2009. Such agreements provide for minimum salary levels, as well as various incentive compensation arrangements, which are payable based on the attainment of specific goals. The agreements also provide for severance payments plus a gross-up payment if certain situations occur, such as termination without cause or a change of control. In the case of three of the agreements, the severance payment equals one times the respective current salary base in the case of termination without cause and 2.99 times the respective average annual compensation over the previous three fiscal years in the case of change of control. In the case of the other two agreements, the severance payment generally equals 2.99 times the respective average annual compensation over the previous three fiscal years in connection with, among other things, a termination without cause or a change of control, and the officer would be entitled to receive continuation and vesting of certain benefits in the case of such termination.
12. Income Taxes
We have maintained and intend to maintain our election as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on distributed taxable income. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. Historically, we have incurred only state and local income, franchise and margin taxes. Taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to applicable federal, state and local income taxes. We have provided for income, franchise and margin taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily for state and local taxes associated with property dispositions, entity level taxes on certain ventures and federal taxes on certain of our taxable REIT subsidiaries. We have no significant temporary differences or tax credits associated with our taxable REIT subsidiaries.
We adopted FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) 48,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109,”as of January 1, 2007. If various tax positions related to certain real estate dispositions were not sustained upon examination, we would have been required to pay a deficiency dividend and associated interest for prior years. Accordingly, we decreased distributions in excess of net income as of January 1, 2007, for the adoption of FIN 48 by approximately $2.5 million, and recorded interest expense of approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 for the interest related to the deficiency dividend for these transactions. We believe we have no uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits requiring disclosure as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
13. Property Dispositions and Assets Held for Sale
Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale.For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, income from discontinued operations included the results of operations for two operating properties, containing 834 apartment homes, classified as held for sale and the results of operations of three operating properties sold in 2008 through its sale date. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, income from discontinued operations also included the results of operations of ten operating properties sold during 2007. As of June 30, 2008, the two operating properties held for sale had an approximate net book value of $26.7 million.
The following is a summary of income from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized a gain of $14.7 million from the sale of the three operating properties, containing a combined 403 apartment homes, to unaffiliated third parties. The sales generated total proceeds of approximately $23.8 million.
Upon our decision to abandon efforts to develop certain land parcels and to market these parcels for sale, we reclassified the operating expenses associated with these assets to discontinued operations. At June 30, 2008, we had undeveloped land parcels classified as held for sale as follows:

Partial Sales to the Fund.On March 6, 2008, we sold Camden Amber Oaks, a development community in Austin, Texas to the Fund for $8.9 million. No gain or loss was recognized on the sale. Concurrent with the transaction, we invested $1.9 million in the Fund; we have a 20% ownership interest in the Fund.
14. Fair Value Disclosures
As of January 1, 2008 we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 157,Fair Value Measurements.The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and also expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The following table presents information about our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by us to determine such fair value.
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities we have the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Disclosures concerning assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

Derivative financial instruments | $ | — | $ | 16.0 | $ | — | $ | 16.0 |
To obtain fair values, observable market prices are used if available. In some instances, observable market prices are not readily available for certain financial instruments and fair value is determined using present value or other techniques appropriate for a particular financial instrument. These techniques involve some degree of judgment and as a result are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions or estimation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
21
Table of Contents
Deferred compensation plan investments. The estimated fair values of investment securities classified as deferred compensation plan investments are based on quoted market prices utilizing public information for the same transactions or information provided through third-party advisors. Deferred compensation plan investments are recorded in other assets and our deferred compensation plan obligations are recorded in other liabilities.
Derivative financial instruments. We enter into derivative financial instruments, specifically interest rate swaps, for non-trading purposes. We use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk arising from previously unhedged interest payments associated with floating rate debt. Through June 30, 2008, derivative financial instruments were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. Derivative contracts with positive net fair values inclusive of net accrued interest receipts or payments, are recorded in other assets. Derivative contracts with negative net fair values, inclusive of net accrued interest payments or receipts, are recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
To comply with the provisions of SFAS 157, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees.
Although we have determined the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2008, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
15. Third-party Construction Services
At June 30, 2008, we were under contract on third-party construction projects ranging from $2.0 million to $9.0 million. We earn fees on these projects ranging from 4.0% to 6.5% of the total contracted construction cost, which we recognize as earned. Fees earned from third-party construction projects totaled $0.1 and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and are included in “Fee and asset management income” in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. We recorded warranty and repair related costs on third-party construction projects of $0.1 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, for costs relating to the first quarter of 2007. These costs are first applied against revenues earned on each project and any excess is included in “Fee and asset management expenses” in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
16. Subsequent Events
In July 2008, we sold Camden Lakeview, a community which contains 476 apartment homes, located in Irving, Texas, Camden Arbors, a community which contains 358 apartment homes, located in Westminster, Colorado, Camden Woodview, a community which contains 283 apartment homes, located in Austin, Texas, and Camden Briar Oaks, a community which contains 430 apartment homes, located in Austin, Texas, for total gross proceeds of approximately $95.0 million. Each sale was in excess of the carrying values. Camden Woodview and Camden Briar Oaks remained in operating properties and were not reclassified to assets held for sale as of June 30, 2008 because the terms and conditions of the contracts were still under negotiation and sufficient evidence did not exist to reclassify these properties.
In July 2008, we purchased a 30% limited partnership interest in a joint venture to which we contributed $1.1 million in cash. The remaining 70% interest is owned by an unaffiliated third party who contributed $2.7 million.

Executive Summary
Based on our results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the projected economic conditions, we expect moderating growth during the remainder of 2008. Economic factors affecting our revenue include declining job growth and continued population growth and household formations in the markets in which we operate, as well as declining fundamentals in the for-sale single-family housing market. The multifamily market has been impacted by a slowdown in the overall United States economy and housing market. Negative sentiment currently surrounding single-family housing could have a positive impact on multifamily demand, as more potential home buyers choose to rent and existing renters extend their stays in apartment homes. However, high inventories of unsold single-family homes in select markets could cause further declines in home prices, making home buying a more attractive option for some renters or resulting in additional single-family homes becoming rental units.
We intend to continue to look for opportunities to acquire existing communities through our investment in and management of discretionary investment funds. During its term, which will end eight years from the final closing, subject to two one-year extensions, the Fund and the Co-Investment Vehicle will be our exclusive investment vehicles for acquiring fully developed multifamily properties, subject to certain exceptions. We expect market concentration risk to be mitigated as our property operations are not centralized in any one market and our portfolio of apartment communities are geographically diverse. We also intend to continue focusing on our development pipeline with approximately $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion in our current and future development pipelines. Total projected capital costs and the commencement of future developments may be impacted by increasing construction costs and other factors.
The credit markets in the United States continue to experience significant liquidity disruptions which could cause the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably and make it more difficult to borrow money. These circumstances could continue to materially impact liquidity in the debt markets, make financing terms for us less attractive, and result in the unavailability of debt financing at favorable terms. We could be negatively impacted by the condition of or the credit market’s perception of the condition of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, who guaranty and provide liquidity to many multifamily companies. Uncertainty in the credit markets could significantly impact our ability to make acquisitions, continue our development pipeline, or make it more difficult for us to dispose of properties. Prospective buyers of our properties may also experience difficulty in obtaining debt financing. Disruptions in the financial markets may also have other, unknown, adverse effects on us or the overall economy.
During the remainder of 2008, approximately $177.2 million of secured mortgage notes are scheduled to mature, and approximately $27.5 million remains to be funded for our current development projects in various stages of construction. As a result of the significant cash flow generated by our operations, the availability under our unsecured credit facility and other short-term borrowings, proceeds from dispositions of properties and other investments, and access to the capital markets by issuing securities under our automatic shelf registration statement, we believe our liquidity and financial condition are sufficient to meet all of our reasonably anticipated cash flow needs during the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

Stabilized Communities
We consider a property stabilized once it reaches 90% occupancy, or generally one year from opening the leasing office, with some allowances for larger than average properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, stabilization was achieved at three recently completed properties as follows:

Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
We intend to maintain a strategy of managing our invested capital through the selective sale of properties and to utilize the proceeds to fund investments with higher anticipated growth prospects in our markets. Income from discontinued operations includes the operations of properties, including land, sold during the period or classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2008. The components of earnings classified as discontinued operations include separately identifiable property-specific revenues, expenses, depreciation and interest expense, if any. The gain on the disposal of the held for sale properties is also classified as discontinued operations.
We reclassified one property previously included in discontinued operations to continuing operations during the three months ended June 30, 2008 as management made the decision not to sell this asset. As a result, we adjusted the current and prior period consolidated financial statements to reflect the necessary reclassifications. Additionally, we recorded a depreciation charge of approximately $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 on these assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
In July 2008, we sold Camden Lakeview, a community which contains 476 apartment homes, located in Irving, Texas, Camden Arbors, a community which contains 358 apartment homes, located in Westminster, Colorado, Camden Woodview, a community which contains 283 apartment homes, located in Austin, Texas, and Camden Briar Oaks, a community which contains 430 apartment homes, located in Austin, Texas, for total proceeds of $95.0 million. Each sale was in excess of the carrying values.
Camden Woodview and Camden Briar Oaks remained in operating properties and were not reclassified to assets held for sale as of June 30, 2008 because the terms and conditions of the contracts were still under negotiation and sufficient evidence did not exist to reclassify these properties.

Results of Operations
Changes in revenues and expenses related to our operating properties from period to period are due primarily to the performance of stabilized properties in the portfolio, the lease-up of newly constructed properties, acquisitions, and dispositions. Where appropriate, comparisons of income and expense on communities included in continuing operations are made on a dollars-per-weighted average apartment home basis in order to adjust for such changes in the number of apartment homes owned during each period. Selected weighted averages for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

Same store analysis
Same store property revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $2.1 million, or 1.6%, from the same period in 2007 resulting primarily from increases in other property revenue, partially offset by a slight decline in average occupancy. Same store property revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $3.8 million, or 1.5%, from the same period in 2007 resulting primarily from higher rental income per apartment home and increases in other property income, partially offset by a decline in average occupancy of 0.5%. Other property revenue increased primarily due to our implementation of Perfect Connection, which provides cable services to our residents, and other utility rebilling programs.
Property expenses from our same store communities increased $1.4 million, or 3.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. The increases in same store property expenses were primarily due to increases in expenses for utilities, primarily due to the implementation of utility rebilling programs discussed above, repairs and maintenance, and real estate taxes offset by a decline in property insurance expense. These four expense categories represent an aggregate of approximately 71% of total property expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Property expenses from our same store communities increased $2.1 million, or 2.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in same store property expenses were primarily due to increases in expenses for utilities and real estate taxes offset by decreases in repair and maintenance and property insurance expenses. These four expense categories represent an aggregate of approximately 69% of total property expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Non-same store analysis
Property revenues from non-same store, development and lease-up communities increased $7.2 million and $14.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. The increases during the periods were primarily due to the completion and lease-up of properties in our development pipeline. See “Development and Lease-Up Properties” for additional detail of occupancy at properties in our development pipeline.
Property expenses from non-same store, development and lease-up communities increased $3.3 million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. The increase in expenses during each period was primarily due to the completion and lease-up of properties in our development pipeline.

Fee and asset management income decreased $0.3 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007.

Property management expense, which represents regional supervision and accounting costs related to property operations, increased $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. The increase was primarily due to salaries and benefits expense. Property management expenses were 3.3% and 3.2% of total property revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and 3.2% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
Fee and asset management expense, which represents expenses related to third-party construction projects and property management, increased $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. This increase was primarily due to increases in costs related to management of the Fund, offset by decreased expenses related to third party construction projects.
General and administrative expense increased $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. This increase was primarily due to increased expenses associated with the abandonment of potential acquisitions as compared to the prior periods. General and administrative expenses were 5.2% and 5.1% of total revenues, excluding income or loss on deferred compensation plans, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and 5.1% and 5.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

Table of Contents
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $4.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. This was primarily due to the increased debt outstanding to fund our acquisitions and completion of units in our development pipeline exceeded property dispositions over the past year, and to fund common share repurchases. Interest expense also increased due to a decrease of $1.1 million and $0.9 million of capitalized interest during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007.
Depreciation and amortization increased $5.1 million and $8.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. This increase was primarily due to depreciation on new development and capital improvements placed in service and assets acquired during the preceding year.
Expense (benefit) on deferred compensation plans decreased $5.5 million and $16.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. This decrease primarily related to the performance of the investments held in deferred compensation plans for participants.

Gain on sale of properties, including land totaled $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, due to the sale of properties, including land, in Las Vegas, Nevada adjacent to our regional office.
Gain on early retirement of debt was $2.3 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, due to the debt repurchases and retirements made during the second quarter of 2008. During the second quarter of 2008, we repurchased and retired $27.8 million of the principal amount of our $300 million, 5.75% senior unsecured notes due 2017 from unrelated third parties for approximately $25.2 million.
Equity in income (loss) of joint ventures decreased $1.0 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. During the latter part of 2007, certain of our development joint ventures completed construction resulting in depreciation and interest expense recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 exceeding net operating income recognized as these properties have not reached stabilization. The decrease is also a result of increased expenses of approximately $0.4 million associated with the abandonment of potential acquisitions as compared to prior periods.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred entity level taxes for our taxable operating partnership and other state and local taxes totaling $0.4 million, as compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2007. The higher taxes in 2007 primarily related to state tax laws which were effective during the previous year, which were not incurred in 2008. Income tax expense decreased $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 2007, primarily attributable to a $1.6 million decrease in state taxes for our operating partnership due to state tax laws which were effective during the previous year, which were not incurred in 2008. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 is primarily comprised of state margin taxes.
Funds from Operations (“FFO”)
Management considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of the financial performance of an equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from depreciable operating property sales, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Diluted FFO also assumes conversion of all dilutive convertible securities, including convertible minority interests, which are convertible into common shares. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions of operating properties and excluding depreciation, FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies.

Table of Contents
We believe in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and data included elsewhere in this report. FFO is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance. Additionally, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our calculation.
Reconciliations of net income to diluted FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and preserving our financial flexibility, which we believe enhances our ability to identify and capitalize on investment opportunities as they become available. We intend to maintain what management believes is a conservative capital structure by:
• | using what management believes to be a prudent combination of debt and common and preferred equity; |
• | extending and sequencing the maturity dates of our debt where possible; |
• | managing interest rate exposure using what management believes to be prudent levels of fixed and floating rate debt; |
• | borrowing on an unsecured basis in order to maintain a substantial number of unencumbered assets; and |
• | maintaining conservative coverage ratios. |
Our interest expense coverage ratio, net of capitalized interest, was 2.6 and 3.0 times for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 2.7 and 3.1 times for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our interest expense coverage ratio is calculated by dividing interest expense for the period into the sum of income from continuing operations before gain on sale of properties, gain on early retirement of debt, equity in income of joint ventures, and minority interests, depreciation, amortization, interest expense and income from discontinued operations. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, 82.9% and 81.3%, respectively, of our properties (based on invested capital) were unencumbered. Our weighted average maturity of debt, excluding our line of credit, was 4.3 years at June 30, 2008.
As a result of the significant cash flow generated by our operations, the availability under our unsecured credit facility and other short-term borrowings, proceeds from dispositions of properties and other investments, and access to the capital markets by issuing securities under our automatic shelf registration statement, we believe our liquidity and financial condition are sufficient to meet all of our reasonably anticipated cash flow needs during the remainder of fiscal year 2008 including:
• | normal recurring operating expenses; |
• | current debt service requirements; |
• | recurring capital expenditures; |
• | repurchase of common equity securities; |
• | initial funding of property developments, acquisitions and notes receivable; and |
• | the minimum dividend payments required to maintain our REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. |

Table of Contents
One of our principal long-term liquidity requirements includes the repayment of maturing debt, including borrowings under our unsecured line of credit used to fund development and acquisition activities. During the remainder of 2008, approximately $177.2 million of secured mortgage notes are scheduled to mature. Additionally, as of June 30, 2008, we had several current development projects in various stages of construction, for which a total estimated cost of $27.5 million remained to be funded. We intend to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through the use of debt and equity offerings under our automatic shelf registration statement, draws on our unsecured credit facility, property dispositions, and secured mortgage notes.
In June 2008, we announced our Board of Trust Managers had declared a dividend distribution of $0.70 per share to holders of record as of June 30, 2008 of our common shares. The dividend was subsequently paid on July 17, 2008. We paid equivalent amounts per unit to holders of the common operating partnership units. This distribution to common shareholders and holders of common operating partnership units equates to an annualized dividend rate of $2.80 per share or unit.
In January 2008, our Board of Trust Managers approved an increase in the April 2007 plan for the purchase of our common equity securities through open market purchases, block purchases and privately negotiated transactions from $250 million to $500 million. Under this program, we repurchased 4.3 million shares for a total of $230.1 million from April 2007 through June 30, 2008. The remaining dollar value of our common equity securities authorized to be repurchased under the program was approximately $269.9 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $99.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $110.4 million for the same period in 2007. The decrease in operating cash flow was negatively impacted by changes in operating accounts, primarily accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to timing of payments between periods, and higher interest expenses.
Cash flows used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $102.1 million, as compared to $299.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Cash outflows for property development and capital improvements were $127.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $314.4 million for the same period in 2007. Cash outflows for investments in joint ventures were $10.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2007. Proceeds received from sales of properties, sales of assets to joint ventures and joint venture distributions representing returns of investments totaled $34.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $50.5 million for the same period in 2007. Net proceeds received from mezzanine loan activity totaled $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to net outflows of $3.1 million for the same period in 2007.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of increases in balances outstanding under our line of credit of $163.0 million, offset by $46.3 million of repayments on notes payable, $30.0 million of common share repurchases, and distributions paid to shareholders and minority interest holders of $85.9 million. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $191.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily as a result of increases in balances outstanding under our line of credit of $158.0 million, in addition to net proceeds from notes payable of $141.9 million, offset by distributions paid to shareholders and minority interest holders of $88.2 million, and our repurchase of $20.1 million of common equity securities.
Financial Flexibility
We have a $600 million unsecured credit facility which matures in January 2010. The scheduled interest rate is based on spreads over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the Prime Rate. The scheduled interest rate spreads are subject to change as our credit ratings change. Advances under the line of credit may be priced at the scheduled rates, or we may enter into bid rate loans with participating banks at rates below the scheduled rates. These bid rate loans have terms of six months or less and may not exceed the lesser of $300 million or the remaining amount available under the line of credit. The line of credit is subject to customary financial covenants and limitations, all of which we are in compliance.
Our line of credit provides us with the ability to issue up to $100 million in letters of credit. While our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under our line, it does reduce the amount available. At June 30, 2008, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $12.4 million, and had $309.6 million available under our unsecured line of credit.
As an alternative to our unsecured line of credit, we from time to time borrow using competitively bid unsecured short-term notes with lenders who may or may not be a part of the unsecured line of credit bank group. Such borrowings vary in term and pricing and are typically priced at interest rates below those available under the unsecured line of credit.

Table of Contents
At June 30, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average interest rate on our floating rate debt, which includes our unsecured line of credit, was 3.0% and 5.5%, respectively.
We filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission during 2006 which became effective upon filing. We may use the shelf registration statement to offer, from time to time, common shares, preferred shares, debt securities or warrants. Our declaration of trust provides that we may issue up to 110,000,000 shares of beneficial interest, consisting of 100,000,000 common shares and 10,000,000 preferred shares. As of June 30, 2008, we had 65,974,045 common shares and no preferred shares outstanding.
Inflation
Substantially all of our apartment leases are for a term generally ranging from 6 to 15 months. In an inflationary environment, we may realize increased rents at the commencement of new leases or upon the renewal of existing leases. The short-term nature of our leases generally minimizes our risk from the adverse affects of inflation.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those most important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results, and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We follow financial accounting and reporting policies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Principles of Consolidation. Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts, the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are the primary beneficiary, and the accounts of other subsidiaries and joint ventures over which we have control. All intercompany transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments acquired or created are evaluated based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (“FIN”) 46R,“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”(as revised), which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary. If the investment is determined not to be within the scope of FIN 46R, then the investments are evaluated for consolidation using American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 78-9,“Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures,”and Accounting Research Bulletin 51,“Consolidated Financial Statements.”If we are the general partner in a limited partnership, we also consider the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 04-5,“Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights,”to assess whether any rights held by the limited partners overcome the presumption of control by us.
Asset Impairment.Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment exists if estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets. When impairment exists the long-lived asset is adjusted to its respective fair value. We consider projected future undiscounted cash flows, trends, and other factors in our assessment of whether impairment conditions exist. While we believe our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such factors as market rents, economies, and occupancies could significantly affect these estimates. In determining fair value, management uses appraisals, management estimates, or discounted cash flow calculations.
Cost Capitalization.Real estate assets are carried at cost plus capitalized carrying charges. Carrying charges are primarily interest and real estate taxes which are capitalized as part of properties under development. Expenditures directly related to the development, acquisition and improvement of real estate assets, excluding internal costs relating to acquisitions of operating properties, are capitalized at cost as land, buildings and improvements. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits and other related costs directly attributable to the development of properties are also capitalized. All construction and carrying costs are capitalized and reported in the balance sheet as properties under development until the apartment homes are substantially completed. Upon substantial completion of the apartment homes, the total cost for the apartment homes and the associated land is transferred to buildings and improvements and land, respectively, and the assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation.
Where possible, we stage our construction to allow leasing and occupancy during the construction period, which we believe minimizes the duration of the lease-up period following completion of construction. Our accounting policy related to properties in the development and leasing phase is all operating expenses associated with completed apartment homes are expensed.
34
Table of Contents
As discussed above, carrying charges are principally interest and real estate taxes capitalized as part of properties under development and buildings and improvements. Capitalized interest was $4.3 million and $9.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $5.4 million and $10.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Capitalized real estate taxes were $1.2 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
We capitalize renovation and improvement costs we believe extend the economic lives of depreciable property. Capital expenditures subsequent to initial construction are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 20 years.
Depreciation and amortization is computed over the expected useful lives of depreciable property on a straight-line basis with lives generally as follows:
Estimated | |||||
Useful Life | |||||
Buildings and improvements | 5-35 years | ||||
Furniture, fixtures, equipment and other | 3-20 years | ||||
Intangible assets (in-place leases and above and below market leases) | underlying lease term |
Derivative Instruments.We utilize derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk, and we designate the financial instruments as cash flow hedges. Derivative instruments are recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For cash flow hedge relationships, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument deemed effective at offsetting the risk being hedged are reported in other comprehensive income or loss. The ineffective portion is recognized in current period earnings. Derivatives not designated or not qualifying for hedge treatment must be recorded at fair value with gains or losses recognized in earnings in the period of change. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Interest rate swap agreements are used to reduce the potential impact of changes in interest rates on variable-rate debt.
We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. This process includes specific identification of the hedging instrument and the hedged transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in hedging the exposure to the hedged transaction’s variability in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk will be assessed and measured. Both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, we assess whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or fair values of hedged items. We discontinue hedge accounting if a derivative is not determined to be highly effective as a hedge or has ceased to be a highly effective hedge.
As of June 30, 2008, we had $500 million in variable rate debt subject to cash flow hedges. See Note 7, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” for further discussion of derivative financial instruments.
Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, reflects the effective portions of cumulative changes in the fair value of derivatives in qualifying cash flow hedge relationships.
Income Recognition.Our rental and other property revenue is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Other property revenue consists primarily of utility rebillings, and administrative, application and other transactional fees charged to our residents. Our apartment homes are rented to residents on lease terms generally ranging from 6 to 15 months, with monthly payments due in advance. Interest, fee and asset management and all other sources of income are recognized as earned. Two of our properties are subject to rent control or rent stabilization. Operations of apartment properties acquired are recorded from the date of acquisition in accordance with the purchase method of accounting. In management’s opinion, due to the number of residents, the type and diversity of submarkets in which the properties operate, and the collection terms, there is no significant concentration of credit risk.
Use of Estimates.In the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, results of operations during the reporting periods, and related disclosures. Our more significant estimates relate to determining the allocation of the purchase price of our acquisitions, estimates supporting our impairment analysis related to the carrying values of our real estate assets, estimates of the useful lives of our assets, general liability and employee benefit programs, and estimates of expected losses of variable interest entities. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. The statement emphasizes fair value as a market-based measurement which should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement 157,” which deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities except for those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 for financial assets and financial liabilities and this adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, FSP 157-2 will have on our financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (i.e., the fair value option), which are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a firm commitment. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. Additionally, SFAS 159 allows for a one-time election for existing positions upon adoption, with the transition adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings. We adopted SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2008 and elected not to measure any of our current eligible financial assets or liabilities at fair value.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R,“Business Combinations,”which replaces SFAS 141,“Business Combinations.”SFAS 141R applies to all transactions or events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses. SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial impact of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, our adoption of SFAS 141R will have on our financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51.”SFAS 160 clarifies a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in a consolidated entity which should be reported as equity in the parent’s consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 requires a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of equity attributable to non-controlling interests and disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statements, of those amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the non-controlling interests, eliminating the past practice of reporting these amounts as an adjustment in arriving at consolidated net income. SFAS 160 requires a parent to recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires the parent to attribute to non-controlling interest their share of losses even if such treatment results in a deficit in non-controlling interests balance within the parent’s equity accounts. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and requires retroactive application of the presentation and disclosure requirements for all periods presented. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, our adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flow. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, our adoption of SFAS 161 will have on our financial statements.
36
Table of Contents
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities.” FSP 03-6-1 affects entities which accrue non-returnable cash dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service period. The FASB concluded unvested share-based payment awards which are entitled to cash dividends, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities any time the common shareholders receive dividends. Because the awards are considered participating securities, the issuing entity is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. FSP 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, our adoption of FSP 03-6-1 will have on our financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
No material changes to our exposures to market risk have occurred since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the report pursuant to Securities Exchange Act (“Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurring during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, except as follows:
• | Disruptions in the Financial Markets Could Adversely Affect our Ability to Obtain Debt Financing and Impact our Acquisition and Disposition |
The credit markets in the United States continue to experience significant liquidity disruptions which could cause the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably and make it more difficult to borrow money. These circumstances could continue to materially impact liquidity in the debt markets, make financing terms for us less attractive, and result in the unavailability of debt financing at favorable terms. We could be negatively impacted by the condition of or the credit market’s perception of the condition of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, who guaranty and provide liquidity to many multifamily companies. Uncertainty in the credit markets could significantly impact our ability to make acquisitions, continue our development pipeline, or make it more difficult for us to dispose of properties. Prospective buyers of our properties may also experience difficulty in obtaining debt financing. Disruptions in the financial markets may also have other, unknown, adverse effects on us or the overall economy.
